wine users - Apr 2010 - PS/2 and USB imput in a emulated Wine application

Hello,

I have an application that reads from USB and PS/2, example: credit card
reader via PS2.

I was wonder if is there any documentation that explain how Wine should be
setup to successful deployment of such scenarios.

The host is linux, is the port communication seamless ?

thanks,

fabio.

Wine does not talk directly to USB or PS2 devices.

If a USB device is a USB->serial type of a device you can make it visible to
your program. As for PS2 - if Xorg server knows how to deal with that device it
can feed input to Wine. But there is no way in Wine to select which input device
you getting your input from.

Last time I've played with PS2 device (bar code reader) it would just input
some numbers/letters as if you would be typing them on a keyboard. I can imaging
CC reader would do the same. So it should "just work".
